New Members Introduce Yourself!

[CEL2022]

Hello Ranger5g,

My name is Steve and live in the mountains of NWNJ. Been lurking around here since my order went in for a 2022 Ranger XLT 4X4 301A, Tech package, auto stop start delete in Hot Pepper metallic paint. Got the email the other day and my Ranger build is scheduled for the week of August 22nd. Not new to Rangers though and my first one was a 1988 Ranger XLT SCAB 4x4. That one went 185K miles but those model Rangers had various issues back then. But in all it was a great truck and went thru all my snowy winters here in the mountains with ease for 8 years. Ranger number two was a 1999 Ranger XLT SCAB 4x4 in beautiful Autumn Orange metallic paint. Another great Ranger but did not have that as long as the 88 but then went in to owning a few SUV's. Finally when the 2019 Ranger came out I was like have to have one and now its going to happen with Ranger #3. Hoping to have this one for many many years and miles. Only time will tell. This Ranger will be vehicle number 66 for me since 1973 and my number 36 Ford vehicles. I guess you can say that I have an addiction but mostly to performance vehicles and trucks. Its all good and happy to be around so many Ranger fans.

Enjoy the 4th of July holiday all,

Steve

Welcome Steve,

Quite a few of the members here are on their third or fourth Ranger. Like you, they know it to be a tough, reliable truck. It won’t be long for you now. Happy Independence Day!

Thanks for the welcome all. So looking forward to getting this new Ranger. I already grabbed some parts including a Bedrug mat, Westin Pro Traxx 4" black oval Nerf bars and a Gator SRX roll up cover. More to come. Can't wait for the fun.


Thanks again,

Steve

Welcome, share some pics of the truck when you are out and about. Be prepared to spend on things you didn't know you were supposed to get.

Just took delivery of my first Ranger, a 2022 XLT FX4 in Forged Green Metallic. So far i am loving the truck! I have always been a full size truck guy since I started driving, but with the new job wanted a mid-size. I can’t believe how much nimbler this is to drive! So far my only issue is minor; the green they show online is much more pronounced than what it looks like in person. It is much darker/grayer than I thought it would be.

So far, I have put on a tailgate dampener (which I understand is obligatory here), a Bakflip MX4 cover, and am about to install Bilstien 5100’s on all four corners. Any suggestions for which setting on the front 5100’s?

welcome to r5g! you have the first green i have seen. I like the color, it is darker than i expected. maybe it will have more pop in the sunlight. I had a velocity blue ford for a little while and in the shade it was boring but in the bright sun it was awesome.

Thanks for the welcome!

it is still pretty dark in the sun. I still really love it, just expected it would be a bit brighter.
